MicMeister Le Skibum & Pixelsmith Registered: 12/14/07 Posts: 1331 Loc: Finland, on the Arctic Circle	Caught this on Twitter, a blog post and instructions on how to install Virtual Box to run virtual systems. Going to give this a try soon myself on the Mac. Looks interesting enough and did I say it's FREE? Works on (Intel) Macs and many Windows flavors too, apparently. Screw the blog, I want to download it now! _________________________ Yes. I can haz a biz and site, no?

MicMeister Le Skibum & Pixelsmith Registered: 12/14/07 Posts: 1331 Loc: Finland, on the Arctic Circle	Yeah, still haven't had time to install it, been busy with work. And it is never a good idea to install new stuff on your system while you have ongoing projects. Hopefully I'll get all three current projects completely out the door soon and before Christmas. The magic word is 'free' so I guess it isn't as refined, but if it does the job mainly to run Windows for IE testing, it'll be just ok. _________________________ Yes. I can haz a biz and site, no?
